DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN. [Dowr] ****************************************** 1 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN. [DoWR] ****************************************** 1. Introduction The state Odisha is ranked as the 5th most flood prone state of the country after UP, Bihar, Assam and West Bengal with a flood prone area of 33400 km2. The south-west monsoon brings rains to the state from June to September every year. The state receives an average annual rainfall of 1500 mm and more than 80% of it occurs during monsoon period only. The coastal districts of the state are more vulnerable to frequent low pressure, cyclonic storms, depression and deep depression. The state has five major river basins namely Mahanadi, Brahmani, Baitarani, Subarnarekha and Rushikulya which cause high floods in their respective deltas. The rivers like Vamshadhara and Burhabalang also cause flash floods due to instant runoff from their hilly catchment. It is a fact that the three major river system Mahanadi, Brahmani and Baitarani forms a single delta during high flood and in most of the cases the flood water of these three systems blend together causing considerable flood havoc. Besides the state has 476.40 kms of coastline on the west of Bay of Bengal. The flood problem becomes more severe when the flood synchronies with high tides causing slow recede of flood. The silt deposited constantly by the waves in the delta area raises the flood level and the rivers often overflow their banks. The flood problem in the state generally aggravated due to some or all of the reasons as below: - Erratic monsoon, heavy monsoon rainfall accompanied by low pressures, depressions, deep depressions and cyclones. - Dam releases due to heavy inflows, thus causing massive outflows in the river. - Inadequate channel carrying capacity. - Low rate of discharge of floodwater into the sea due to congestion of river mouths. - Tidal surge during the flood thereby heading up of floodwater. This may occur during monsoon or non-monsoon. t - Changing land use conditions leading to the erosion of soils, thus reducing the channel carrying and reservoir capacity. - Due to continuous deposit of sand in river beds which ultimately reduces the carrying capacity of river. - Thick clay layer mostly over deltaic area (paddy grown area) which form an impervious bed. - Free flow flood plains are gradually being closed due to public utility/demand causing excess floodwater in the rivers, which ultimately threats to the capital embankments. Some of the major floods that occurred in recent past are shown in Table 1. Table1. Few major floods of Odisha basins Sl.

Map of identified vulnerable location for 2013 After commissioning of Hirakud dam during 1958 flood miseries in Mahanadi system have been reduced considerably. However still it continues either due to dam releases from Hirakud reservoir or due to flow contributions from intercepted catchments of over 50,000 sq. km. Down below Hirakud dam project and upto delta. In Mahanadi system, mostly the rivers Kathjori, Devi, Kuakhai, Kushabhadra, Daya, Bhargabi, Birupa, Chitroptala, Paika drains most of the floodwater in to the sea. Due to excess of water than carrying capacity, t major breaches occurred on these rivers and almost inundate the deltaic area. The flood damage statistics of past five major floods are as given in the Table 3. Table 3 Flood damage statistics Flood damage due to 1982 2001 2006 2008 2011 Peak flood at Mundali (Lakh cusecs) 15.84 14.09 12.83 15.81 13.67 Breaches (Nos.) 379 120 78 Damages (Rs. Crores) 559 429 745 The most recent floods in the state occurred during Sept.’ 2008 and 2011. While, the flood 2008 in Mahanadi basin was due to lower catchment contribution, the flood of 2011 was due to that from the heavy rainfall in the upstream. The inundation map of 14 Sept. 2011 (Fig. 2) is as shown below. All the coastal districts are affected during these floods. Agricultural fields, roads and railway networks are completely disrupted along with lives of human and domestic animals are jeopardized. Fig 2 Flood inundation map of 14 Sep. 2011 t It has been observed over the years, that the rainfall pattern as well as the rainfall distribution in the state has been changed resulting more deviations from the normal rainfall (Fig.3 for 2010). The usual 120 days monsoon rain has gradually has shrunk to 60-70 days, with the annual average still over 1400mm resulting unusual spikes in short term rainfall. The torrential rainfall spells of over 200-250mm in a day are more frequent during monsoon. DISTRICT RAINFALL’2010 , JUNE to SEPTEMBER(Deviations).

Today, its network of Flood Forecasting and Warning Stations has gradually extended over the years and covers almost all the major inter-state flood prone river basins throughout the country. The network comprised of 175 Flood Forecasting Stations including 28 inflow forecast during the year 2008, in 9 major river basins and 71 sub basins of the country. It covered 15 states besides NCT Delhi and UT of Dadra & Nagar Haveli. The flood forecasting activities of the Commission are being performed every year from May to October through its 21 field divisions which issue flood forecasts and warnings to the civil authorities of the states as well as to other organizations of the central & state governments, as and when the river water level touches or is expected to touch the warning level at the flood forecasting stations. The flood season 2008 witnessed unprecedented flood events in recent history. Both the river Subarnarekha at Rajghat and river Ghaghra at Ayodhya had once again recorded in 2008 a fresh "unprecedented Flood", for the second consecutive year after experiencing a similar event in 2007. In addition, "unprecedented Flood" was recorded on river Puthimari at N.H.Road crossing, river Devi, a distributory of river Mahanadi at Alipingal and Gharghra at Elgin Bridge.

For this, palynological and palynofacies study was carried out in 57 surface sediment samples from Birupa river System, Kathjodi-Debi River system and Kuakhai River System constituting Upper, Middle and Lower Deltaic part of Mahanadi river. The apex of the delta shows dominance of Spirogyra algae indicating high nutrient, low energy shallow ecosystem during most of the year and recharged only during monsoons. The depositional environment is anoxic to dysoxic in the central and south-eastern part of the Middle Deltaic Plain (MDP) and Lower Deltaic Plain (LDP) indicated by high percentage of nearby palynomorphs, Particulate Organic Matter (POM) and algal or fungal spores. The northern part of the delta show high POM preservation only in the estuarine area in LDP but high Amorphous Organic Matter (MOA) in MDP.

  • Research Setting
    S.K. Acharya, G.C. Mishra and Karma P. Kaleon Chapter–6 Research Setting Anshuman Jena, S K Acharya, G.C. Mishra and Lalu Das In any social science research, it is hardly possible to conceptualize and perceive the data and interpret the data more accurately until and unless a clear understanding of the characteristics in the area and attitude or behavior of people is at commend of the interpreter who intends to unveil an understanding of the implications and behavioral complexes of the individuals who live in the area under reference and from a representative part of the larger community. The socio demographic background of the local people in a rural setting has been critically administered in this chapter.

  • A Note from WIO on the Rengali Dam and Flood Management
    Special Note – II on ‘Odisha Floods 2011’ from Water Initiatives Odisha (WIO) 24th September, 2011 Different Designs, Same Management ‘Did we manage the Rengali dam the way we managed Hirakud?’ asks Water Initiatives Odisha, as it brings a special note on this issue in response to the latest spell of the flood disaster in northern Odisha Rivers. The latest spectre of floods over Brahmani and Baitarani has once again brought the Dam Operations and Management systems of the state into question. This time the focus goes to the Rengali dam. Before going further to the discussion, we would like to bring to your notice the water storage level that was maintained in the Rengali dam on select dates as against the recommended Rule Curve for that dam. Select Date Recommended Maximum Level at which the Reservoir Reservoir and Minimum was kept Limits (by Rule Curve) 1st July 109.72 M / 109.72 M 114.84 M 1st August 115.85 M/ 115.85 M 114.91 M 1st September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 122.36 M 7th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 122.87 M 14th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.54 M 20th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.66 M 21st September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.55 M 22nd September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.56 M 23rd September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 123.56 M 24th September 122.50 M/ 121.95 M 124.39 M As can be observed from the above, even as warnings of depression/low pressure were coming in (and in fact that has historically brought rain at this time of the year over Brahmani and Baitarani river basins), the Reservoir was kept consistently at a higher level.
